Newby to FE. Just a Few Questions.

That's impressive!

I would say that it is closer to being amazing!

I would say this is something special that JD is able to do... It is like holding the ball for the last shot of the game when you are down by one point.

I have this talk with FEX agents all the time. JD waits until Tuesday to get in the field, but you need to start your week on Monday. Don't throw away days and miss any field time before you achieve your weekly goal new agents!

And I would agree with that. My schedule became my schedule due to other scheduling reasons.

Now I don't have those reasons but the tues/thurs thing has become a fixture. If it wasn't working for me I would change it now.

But he seems to be saying the impressive part is averaging $4K/wk on two field days a week. Not on which 2 days it is.

But that's not all that impressive. I know many FE agents that average more than that on 2 field days per week. Including Hoosierdaddy.

Define many. I would think that the number is actually very few in comparison of the number of agents there are working in the FE Market.. You guys are a notch above the Final Four when it comes to production.

I've averaged $4k/wk for 7 years now.

That's about the equivalent to one 50k FIA sale each week. I'm sure that's how JD thinks of it.

Hosted in Houston this year, can't wait.

I take off my cap and give you a standing applause, very good, hope to meet you one day.

So I was doing some math yesterday and thought, "Why don't I create an excel worksheet to help calculate expected gross and net commissions based off of a certain number of leads a week, at a selected close rate, times 1.3 apps per sale (for an occasional double, that's what we used in preneed anyway), at a selected commission rate, etc..." It's set up to figure things per week, but there is an annualized net income column (after the price of leads), so you can see what it would take to reach your yearly income goals. I set the annualized income for a 48 week work year.

I did not include columns for renewals, but you certainly could.

I have attached this file as I thought maybe it would be of use to someone. I'm taking in all the information and trying to organize it a bit, but I may be contacting you, Travis.

Once you know your close rate from a large sample size and how many leads you can handle on a consistent basis, it may be useful.

No, I don't think of it that way. I've never bothered to get into the nuances of the numbers.

As for the FF, yes, it's in Houston and I've a room reserved since April.

I would to meet up. I've met many of the regular posters here and we get along famously.

I think most would say that I am how I post.
